Homebrew

"The Missing Package Manager for macOS (or Linux)"

This is probably the most popular package manager for developers on Mac.

I've used it over and over to install NVM on different systems, but a massive amount of open-source software is available:

Installation

If you've used the terminal before, this will be nice and easy.

1) Go here: https://brew.sh/
2) Paste the line of code from the site into a terminal
* This uses the curl command to pull the latest installation script from Github, and executes it on your system.3) Hit Enter

Usage
